My Project

My students and I are excited and motivated to begin the school year. They come for different cultural backgrounds and have different learning needs.

I chose the materials requested because I am transitioning from being a paraprofessional to a classroom teacher.

This will be my first class as a teacher.

The calendar will be used everyday during our morning meeting. I want my students to know the days of the week and months of the year. I also want to teach them how to read a calendar. The chart tablets will be used to model instruction in math, reading, writing and other content areas.
